Charles Barkley said he is considering leaving broadcasting when his contract is up in two years.

It seems hard to believe for those who remember him as a star player, but Barkley is entering his 17th years as a broadcaster. "I love my job, I love the people I work with," Barkley said. "My big decision is, I’ve got two years left on my deal. That’ll be 17 years. That’s a long time to do a job. I would rather leave too early than stay too long. And 17 years is a long time." While Barkley mentioned he may change his mind, he also expressed interest in taking a general manager's job once his broadcasting days are over. Tue, Oct 28, 2014 12:27:00 PM

James Harden will be suspended for Tuesday's game against the Hawks for kicking LeBron James in the groin on Sunday.

We'll finally get to see just how valuable Harden really is. He's having one of the best seasons for stats in recent memory, so his fantasy owners should still start him with three games. With Harden out, there should be many more minutes for Corey Brewer and coach Kevin McHale may kick the tires on K.J. McDaniels. The violation is attached in the link below.

Dwight Howard (knee) has not yet progressed to on-court activities, and he is still limited to swimming, weight lifting and running on a weight-controlled treadmill.

He has been sidelined since Jan. 25 due to his ailing knee, and this report suggests that he still has a long way to go in his recovery. He is scheduled to have several MRI's in the coming week, so we should be able to provide an additional update on his timetable soon. With fantasy playoffs just around the corner, Howard's owners may need to evaluate their options. Terrence Jones has been on fire for the Rockets, and he will continue to be the primary beneficiary for the foreseeable future. Donatas Motiejunas and Josh Smith are locked into larger roles as well.
